Problem Statement

Let n2n \ge 2 be a fixed positive integer. An integer will be called "nn-free" if it is not a multiple of an nn-th power of a prime. Let MM be an infi nite set of rational numbers, such that the product of every nn elements of MM is an nn-free integer. Prove that MM contains only integers.
